Our family went on our very first camping trip a few weeks ago. It was real camping…you know, the kind where you sleep in tents, don’t take showers and build fires to cook your food…like you see on TV. That kind of camping…and we loved it!
Okay well I should clarify that Alyssa, Evan and Luke slept in a tent while the other Luke and I slept in a trailor. The other Luke being the little one…you didn’t think we’d let our kids sleep alone in a tent did you? 
Oh but we didn’t go on this adventure alone. We had a great time with our Redwood Family Church friends and shared a tent with the Hennessy’s and the trailor with the Willmon’s. The Hennessy’s had the food all planned out for us and we REALLY enjoyed the pizza and egg sandwiches we made in the iron sandwich maker…so yummy! Thanks friends!!
Here is Stephanie setting up the sleeping bags…

And the boys discussing important tenting stuff I’m sure…

Here we are about ready to go sleep in our trailor…

Fun times around the campfire!



The Lukes at the Beach…

The kids had fun throwing rocks into the water and looking for shells…and crabs!



We had so much fun we forgot to take very many pictures…I guess we’ll have to do it again then!
